PlumerHerbert Charles OnslowLieutenant ColonelHe joined the 65th Foot in 1876, and saw his first active service in the Sudan in 1884, when as captain of the York and Lancaster Regiment he took part in the battles of El Teb and Tamai, being mentioned in despatches, and received the medal and clasp, bronze star, and the 4th Class Medjidie. When the Matabele War broke out in 1896 General Plumer organised and commanded a relief corps of mounted rifles, which he marched up country, doing much execution in the strongholds of rebels. But it was in the Boer War, 1899-1902, that General Plumer earned the greatest distinction as a soldier, although his services do not appear to have been acknowledged as completely as they deserved, but General Plumer is not one of the advertising generals. Commencing the campaign as a Special Service officer, he was afterwards placed on the Staff, and it was as a natural sequel to his excellent record in the Chartered territory that he was given the command of the Rhodesian contingent. In his march to the relief of Mafeking he was slightly wounded. His subsequent operations took place in the Transvaal, Orange River, and Cape Colony, for which he was promoted to Major-General and was made ADC to the King; he was mentioned in despatches, and received the CB, two medals and six clasps. In 1902 he took command of the 4th Brigade of the 1st Army Corps at Aldershot, and in March, 1906, he was appointed to command the 7th Division at the Curragh in the place of Lieutenant General Sir G C Morton, KCIE. In 1914 he commanded the II Corps and in 1915 the Second Army. In 1917 after Caporetto he was sent to Italy to command Allied forces there. In 1918 he was recalled to France to lead the Second Army during the German Spring offensive. In 1919-24 he was appointed Governor of Malta and in 1925-28 High Commissioner for Palestine and Trans-Jordan. Rather short and slim of stature, General Plumer suggests in appearance rather the dandy than the soldier. His temper is imperturbable, even in the heat of action, and he enjoyed a keen sense of humour.
